Next week in Albert Square, Billy is buzzing with excitement over throwing a party for Stevie. He shares with Will that Stevie and his mum Val have the same birthday, but there's just one problem - he doesn't know where Val is. As preparations for the party get underway, Will and Billy eagerly wait for the guest of honor to arrive. And when Stevie finally walks into the Vic, he is completely overwhelmed by the effort everyone has put into making his day special.
The Mitchells show Stevie a warm welcome, with Billy even giving his dad Phil a hug. But while everyone is enjoying the festivities, Phil can't help but do some snooping into Stevie's past. And what he uncovers is a shocking revelation that he can't keep to himself. He confronts Stevie and demands the truth, leaving Stevie with no choice but to reveal that Val is actually dead. This news sends Billy reeling, and Stevie attempts to explain the situation to him.
Feeling lost and alone, Stevie seeks advice from Teddy, but will Billy ever be able to forgive him for keeping such a big secret? And as if that wasn't enough drama, Yolande has a bombshell of her own to share. She decides to tell her husband Denzel about Pastor Clayton's arrest for sexual assault charges. Denzel offers her his unwavering support, and the two share a hug in the midst of the chaos.
But the drama doesn't stop there. Reiss receives a shocking bill for Debbie's care fees and in a desperate attempt to make some money, he decides to rent out the spare room. However, Sonia is not on board with the idea and makes it clear that she does not want a lodger. Feeling the pressure, Reiss resorts to some shady tactics to line his own pockets.
Meanwhile, Kat is worried about her son Tommy, who confides in her that he feels like Phil doesn't care about him. And it seems like Tommy may be onto something as Ian's strange behavior catches the attention of Peter and Cindy. Cindy is determined to get to the bottom of things and confronts Ian, but will he come clean about what he's been up to?
In the midst of all the chaos, Sharon offers Reiss a lifeline by giving him some work to do. She wants him to chase up some unpaid invoices, but things take a dark turn when Reiss takes matters into his own hands. And as Phil pushes everyone away, can Callum and Kat get through to him before it's too late?
As tensions rise within the Mitchell family, Teddy and Billy attempt to bring everyone together for a family get-together. But when Phil is not invited, he still shows up and joins the meal. Will all hell break loose? And will Phil's visit to Denise's house result in another falling out?
